Chapter 634: The Standard of “Good”

The boy didn't sleep very comfortably due to the slight bumps in the car.

He frowned slightly, and leaned his head against the window, which occasionally hit the window lightly as the car body swayed.

Although the impact was not strong and did not hurt, it did affect the quality of sleep.

"Lucas—" Lu Jingying, who was sitting in the driver's seat, called out and quickly glanced through the rearview mirror inside the car, "We're almost there, pack up and get ready to get out of the car."

Lucas forced his eyes open and responded, "Okay, Mom."

He speaks standard Chinese, but his word choice is too formal and he pays too much attention to grammar, making it so standard that it sounds like written language.

Combined with his appearance, others can immediately tell that he is a foreigner who speaks Mandarin very well.

Lucas sat up straight, skillfully straightened out the wrinkles on his clothes, and then smoothed his hair, which had flattened a little due to leaning against the car window, to make it fluffy again.

He also took out a set of pure water wipes and wiped his face, focusing on the corners of his eyes, nose, auricles and behind his ears. He then wiped his hands and threw the used wipes into the stick-on garbage bag in the car.

What finally appeared before Lu Jingying was another refreshing and perfect son.

Lu Jingying nodded with satisfaction: "When you meet Aunt Xiang and her son later, remember how to greet them, right?"

"I remember." Lucas answered. Without waiting for Lu Jingying to speak, he said fluently, "I have to say hello to Aunt Xiang first, and then say how sorry I am for bothering you in the next few days..."

While listening, Lu Jingying nodded with satisfaction and praised: "You are worthy of being my good child. You really make your mother proud."

Lucas smiled widely. As long as he was a good boy, his mother would be in a good mood today.

If his mother is in a good mood, he can live a good life too.

As they were talking, Lu Jingying's car arrived at the destination.

Tao Shenxing's mother, Xiang Jiri, was already waiting in the yard with Tao Shenxing.

Tao Shenxing has adjusted very well during this period. The yellowness on the palms of his hands and soles of his feet has faded away for the most part, and it is not noticeable unless you look carefully.

But he still cared a little, so he wore a pair of black leather gloves, which looked very cool. If asked, he would say they were used to keep warm in cold weather.

In order to compete with Lucas, he consulted Ji Tianxiao last night. Not only did he put on a nice outfit, he also sprayed his hair with some styling spray this morning.

He proudly posted the photo in the class group, in return for which he was ridiculed as a "peacock spreading its tail".

Anyway, he is ready! Tao Shenxing is full of fighting spirit.

After the car stopped and the driver's door opened, Tao Shenxing heard Lu Jingying's hearty laughter before he saw her: "Xiang Qingqing——"

Xiang Ji Ri was used to it. Lu Jingying used to think her name was not easy to pronounce, saying that "Jiri" means sunny day, so she simply called her "Xiang Qingqing".

"Lu Jingjing, long time no see." Xiang Ji Ri replied.

Unlike Xiang Jiri, Lu Jingying's previous name was indeed Lu Jingjing. "Lu Jingying" was the name she changed in anger after losing to Xiang Jiri for the third time.

Lu Jingying's smile suddenly froze. She walked around the car, came in front of Xiang Jiri, and said unhappily, "Didn't we agree not to call me by my old name?"

"You also promised me that you would call my name properly." Xiang Ji Ri was very calm.

Lu Jingying stared at her for a while, her face fell, and she said reluctantly, "Xiang Jiri."

"Lu Jingying." Xiang Ji Ri replied.

Only then did the two of them greet each other properly.

Tao Shenxing was listening nearby, and recalled his father's comments on his mother: "Others always say your mother is stubborn, very choking, and unwilling to take any loss, but I like your mother like this."

"She doesn't care what others think, and she won't accommodate others, compromise or give in. She is also very steady from beginning to end during the competition, with her eyes only on her goal. She will not show a satisfied smile until she wins the championship."

"The only problem is, it's really hard to catch up..."

Tao Shenxing was just thinking that he still had to learn more from his mother when he heard a cheerful and sunny male voice: "Hello, Auntie Xiang. I'm Lucas. It's our first meeting. Please take care of me. Sorry to bother you in the next few days."

Tao Shenxing immediately shifted his gaze and looked at his opponent.

The moment he saw the person clearly, Tao Shenxing felt a little dazzled.

Damn, it's a handsome guy! And he looks perfect!

Tao Shenxing wanted to cover his eyes, but he held on tenaciously.

What's wrong with being handsome? Aren't there enough handsome guys in Class 3?! When our class leader played the arrogant devil, he was recognized by everyone as the most handsome!

Thinking of Gu Qinghuan, Tao Shenxing felt more confident.

It is not difficult to openly admit that others are excellent. Everyone in Class 3 has their own strengths, and he has never felt inferior.

So, why should he feel inferior to the stranger Lucas?

As long as his mother thinks he is great, isn’t that enough?

Xiang Jiri smiled at Lucas and said, "I've often heard your mother talk about you. This is my son, Tao Shenxing. Shenxing, take Lucas to put away the luggage."

Lu Jingying and Lucas will stay at Tao Shenxing's house for about a week when they come to visit. Xiang Jiri doesn't mind since his house doesn't lack a few guest bedrooms.

And since Lu Jingying was here, it was just right for her to play a few games with her in the billiard room at home, just like finding a billiard partner for herself.

When Tao Shen walked to the trunk of the car, Lucas pressed the upgrade button of the trunk first and took down the two suitcases on his own initiative.

The two suitcases were the same size and weighed about the same, so there was no need to argue over who would carry the heavier one.

Tao Shenxing pulled out the handle of one of the suitcases, dragged the suitcase, and walked in front to lead the way. Lucas followed behind him, and at the end were Xiang Jiri and Lu Jingying walking side by side.

The guest bedroom on the second floor had already been arranged. It had good lighting, was cleaned tidily, and had brand new bedding. Even the colors were chosen by Xiang Jiri according to Lu Jingying's preferences.

After sending the two to the room, Xiang Jiri and Tao Shenxing returned to the first floor first, leaving the room for Lu Jingying and Lucas to rest.

Xiang Jiri looked at Tao Shenxing: "Weren't you very nervous before? Why are you not nervous now that you met someone?"

Tao Shenxing raised his chin: "Our squad leader enlightened me!"

Xiang Ji Ri was silent for a moment. His own son's choice of words was sometimes really hard to describe.

She followed up Tao Shenxing's words and asked, "What did she enlighten you about?"

"It's just to make me not feel that I am inferior to Lucas." Tao Shenxing replied.

Xiang Jiri stretched out his finger and accurately tapped Tao Shenxing's forehead: "What are you thinking about? How can you be worse than Lucas?"

Just hearing his mother say this, Tao Shenxing's tail was lifted up to the sky.

He suppressed his excitement and said modestly: "I have many advantages, right?"

"There are still many shortcomings." Xiang Jiri shook his head. With just these simple words, Tao Shenxing's tail fell to the ground again.

"It's just that you are my child," Xiang Jiri touched Tao Shenxing's head, "It's fine like this."

What is the standard of "good" is in her hands.

In her opinion, her own children are the best.
